Summary
Three-dimensional super-resolution nanophotonic fabrication facility. This stimulated emission depletion microscopy nanophotonic fabrication facility will be the first nanophotonic fabrication facility that is able to achieve optical resolution far beyond the diffraction limit, which will facilitate breakthroughs in cutting-edge nanotechnology research areas.
Structurally designed catalysts for high-performance natural gas reforming. This project aims to develop a new class of highly stable catalysts with specially designed physical and chemical structures that can be used in high temperature chemical processes. These catalysts can potentially be used for the reforming of natural gas to produce the synthesis gas, which can then be used to produce liquid fuels and chemicals.

Nanotechnology has exciting potential to solve major health challenges of the 21st century. The proposed research focuses on developing health care products, derived from a renewable waste stream resource from the pearling industry, en route to establishing products to benefit the rural community, and beyond. The processed pearl nacre provides the possibility of alleviating problems associated with neurotrauma following injury, and for skin regeneration following burns. The recently established powerful multidisciplinary research team in partnership with Pearl Technology combines expertise in chemical processing, nanotechnology, biochemistry, neuroscience and tissue engineering, also providing a basis for quality research training.Read moreRead less

Summary
Cadmium-free one-dimensional colloidal nanocrystal heterostructures. The goal of this project is to develop innovative colloidal nanocrystal heterostructures to provide the basis for eco-friendly optoelectronic devices and photocatalysis as well as other advanced applications. One-dimensional semiconductor nanocrystals have desirable electronic and catalytic properties (a linearly polarised emission, large absorption cross section, reduced lasing threshold and improved charge separation and tran ....Cadmium-free one-dimensional colloidal nanocrystal heterostructures. The goal of this project is to develop innovative colloidal nanocrystal heterostructures to provide the basis for eco-friendly optoelectronic devices and photocatalysis as well as other advanced applications. One-dimensional semiconductor nanocrystals have desirable electronic and catalytic properties (a linearly polarised emission, large absorption cross section, reduced lasing threshold and improved charge separation and transport). However, present investigations of these materials are mainly limited to highly toxic cadmium chalcogenides. This project aims to explore a family of cadmium-free colloidal nanocrystal heterostructures with the desired properties. The project intends to investigate their growth mechanisms, properties and effects to support product development and advance the fundamental knowledge of electronics at the nanoscale.Read moreRead less

Summary
Malaria remains a major problem for children in developing countries especially where different types of the disease are common. This set of complementary studies, based at an established research site in PNG aims to develop new treatment strategies for childhood malaria. A novel method of giving medicine via a spray under the tongue for sick children before arrival at hospital and modified dosing schedules of an old drug used for treating parasites hidden in the liver will be studied.
